Anti-Donald Trump protesters lost their minds tonight in Los Angeles, in Santa Ana and at several UC campuses, including UCI.
I am not sure what exactly they are trying to accomplish. The time to protest was when the DNC conspired to steal the primary election from Bernie Sanders so they could hand it to the corrupt Hillary Clinton. Trump won because she was an awful candidate!
The election is over now. These protests are meaningless and will only anger the voters even more. This will hurt the cause not help it.
I drove by the protest on Bristol and McFadden tonight while taking my 13-year old son to flag football practice at Jerome Park. The protesters were waving giant Mexican flags. Good grief. How is this behavior going to make Americans like immigrants?
I don’t like Trump either but because of the DNC we are now stuck with him for the next four years. In two years the Democrats can try to take back the House of Representatives. But in the interim Trump will be able to do pretty much whatever he wants including appointing the ninth member of the U.S. Supreme Court.
In L.A. the protesters actually walked onto the 101 Freeway, endangering the public. Ridiculous!
The protest in Santa Ana grew to about 250 protesters who took over an intersection at McFadden Avenue and then traveled down Bristol Street in Santa Ana, according to the O.C. Register.
Some protesters began throwing rocks and bottles at police, according to the SAPD. The Santa Police Department had to request mutual aid from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department to control the crowd. There were no immediate reports of injuries or arrests.
I can understand why folks are upset but these actions are only going to make things worse.
I love your writing, “they have lost their minds?” Great line. Even though we(you and I) are on opposite ends politicly, I appreciate your honesty and objective reporting. You tell it like it is.. keep up the good work..
I agree that these people have lost their minds. And I do appreciate your honesty as well, thought I disagree with you politically Art. As a Latino, I’m ashamed. My parents taught me better than this lawlessness.
Yes it is a sad day in our city!
Thanks Daniel!
Stupid ass people!
These events are similar to those that took place after Barack was elected , im actually kind of glad the Dems lost the election, because the Far Right GOP supporters all have guns and know hoe to use them.
Except conservatives don’t act brainless vandalizing our streets, disrespect our police officers, and stand on major freeways while cars are dribbling by.
